The school received a check for $1079.58 for Box Tops. Please keep on clipping! A container is located in the Narthex or you can drop them off at the school. Lutheran Witness Subscriptions -- Now would be a good time to subscribe to the Lutheran Witness if you are not a current subscriber. The cost is $15.96 per year. You can use the envelope in the front of your box of Contribution envelopes or a plain envelope. Just make sure you write your name on the envelope and that it is for Lutheran Witness. Drop in the offering plate on Sunday morning and you are on your way to some very interesting articles and information about the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Call Merv Mueller, 420-1522 if you have any questions. If you have not picked up your contribution envelopes for 2015, please do so. If you have any questions or you can’t find your box, contact Larry Koldewey or Merv Mueller. Graceful Dining \’grās-fəl ‘din-ing\ n An opportunity to get to know others amidst fine food and fellowship. Some of you will remember this program from years past when it was called Suppers 8. It’s back with a new name…Graceful Dining. It works like this: Adults (couples and singles) who would like to participate will sign up at the table in the Narthex today, January 11. Couples will be placed into groups of three couples. You will be notified of the names of the other people in your group by January 25. Each couple will host one meal during the months of February, March or April. Your group will decide on the specific dates. The host couple will provide the main course and the other two couples will bring something to round out the meal. The host couple has the privilege of inviting a fourth couple who is not part of the group. If you are a single who would like to participate and you would like to be paired with another single, please note the other person’s name on the sign-up sheet. If you have any special dietary needs, please note them on the sign-up sheet, too. Take advantage of this opportunity to get to know fellow members of Immanuel Lutheran Church as well as the fourth mystery couple!
